During a recent live chat with fans, Lovato announced that her next album will be released September 20. According to Lovato, the new collection is “the coolest album I have ever done,” and will feature a bit of a sonic shift. As she put it, “I am showcasing my vocals more like I did on ‘Skyscraper.’”

Cher’s musical career has been fairly low profile since she scored a massive late ’90s hit with ‘Believe,’ but her influence continues to be felt in the larger-than-life style of many younger artists — including Lady Gaga, who’s planning to acknowledge that debt with a duet that just might melt the dance floor.

They’re teaming up to record ‘The Greatest Thing,’ a song Gaga offered Cher for her upcoming album.

After plenty of delays, Lil Wayne swears he’s finally releasing ‘Tha Carter IV’ — and he’ll celebrate the album’s August 29 debut with a performance at the MTV VMAs the night before.

Thanks to some information shared by his manager during a recent Billboard interview, Lil Wayne is the first confirmed performer for the 2011 ceremony. After so many bumps in the road, Wayne doesn’t need any additional incentive to get the record out on time, but now he can look forward to a nice post-VMA sales bump.

Donnie Wahlberg got a reminder of this during a recent stop on the New Kids’ joint tour with the Backstreet Boys, when he wandered into the stands while they performed ‘Tonight.’ Presented with the opportunity to get a piece of a real live New Kid, one particularly zealous fan latched on, and wasn’t in any hurry to let go.

Gomez, along with Ryan Seacrest, helped with the recent launch of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s new media center, christened The Voice. The center includes a recording studio, so Gomez joined an adorable young heart patient named Julia for a performance of her single ‘Who Says.’

The next time you’re at the karaoke machine, choose your song carefully — you never know who might be listening.

That was the lesson learned by guests at a Malibu, California wedding last Friday, when none other than Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez dropped by. As it turns out, the star lovebirds were apparently driving past the reception when they heard someone singing Bieber’s ‘One Less Lonely Girl,’ and decided to have a closer listen.

After complimenting Gaga on her pants-free outfit by quipping “I don’t like wearing pants,” Stern questioned his chart-topping guest on a number of subjects, including her family, her past drug use, and — of course — her sex life.

When you’re a young, multi-platinum pop star, how many fragrances do you need?

For Britney Spears, the answer is “at least 10″ — she’s releasing her 10th perfume, named Cosmic Radiance, via Elizabeth Arden. “It’s all about having the power and confidence to be yourself,” explained Spears. “When I wear my new scent, Cosmic Radiance, I feel beautiful, empowered and sexy.”

Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift lead the pack, with five and six nominations, respectively. Other stars boasting multiple nods — drawn across the pop culture spectrum, including movies, music, television, fashion, and sports — are Justin Bieber, Adele, Lady Gaga, and Eminem.

Take a look at the list of music nominees below, then read the full list at the Teen Choice Awards website — and mark your calendar for August 7, when this year’s winners will be announced.
